What problem does it solve?
Slack teams often need short, visually engaging animations that conform to specific size and dimension constraints. This skill provides knowledge, utilities, and workflows to create optimized Slack GIFs that meet requirements and integrate with a PIL-based frame pipeline.
Core Features & Use Cases
- GIFBuilder: assemble frames and optimize for Slack-ready output (including emoji-mode and frame dedup)
- Validators: verify Slack readiness, dimensions, and frame counts to ensure compatibility
- Easing & Frame Helpers: apply motion effects and compose frames with gradient, shapes, and text
- Use Case: produce a branded Slack emoji or a 480x480 animated message GIF for product demos or onboarding
- Use Case: iterate quickly on visuals by adjusting frames and re-exporting with automatic color quantization
Quick Start
Create a 128x128 Slack emoji GIF by composing frames with PIL and saving with GIFBuilder using emoji-optimized settings.
